... 68 Coupons Later - Saved $186 - Paid $14 - A Great Day at Publix

I Lo♥e Extreme Savings

(Just Bragging A Little Here, :-) )

Yesterday was the last day of the FREE boxes of Fiber One cereals with 25¢ overage on each. So it was my second trip this week. I was actually planning on Publix paying me to shop, but some impulse shopping caused me to dig in to my wallet for a credit card (one that gives cash back for all purchases, of course). Had I not inspected the clearance rack at the front of the store, I would not have picked up a $4.50 bag of bird food (saving at least 50%). The rest of the $14 and change was spent on Boar's Head products from the Publix Deli counter. It is very rare that I don't impulse buy some items, but usually I can manage to find a coupon, or the item is a BOGO.

You only live once.
